"TV Glasses" a product that never caught on (1963)

As a real estate agent your job is to sell your vendor’s property in the shortest amount of time for the highest price possible. What if I told you there was a tool…a technology, that could help you do that. Interested? Well there is, and even better, not many agents are using it right now! Here’s an opportunity for you to get a massive advantage over your competition. The tool is a virtual reality tour.

My name is Nick Walker, owner and founder of VR Tours – The Virtual Tour Specialists. I’m known as the “Virtual Tour Guy”. I was one of the very first virtual tour photographer’s in Australia and started VR Tours way back in 2002. Since then I’ve been at the cutting edge of virtual tour technology, continuely developing and innovating our products and services to deliver the highest quality, interactive, and immersive virtual tours on the market today.

So what is a virtual tour? What does it do, and why do I need one I hear you ask? If you’ve never seen a virtual reality tour before it’s a series of 360º x 180º panoramic images which are captured, stitched together, and built into a web based player which allows you to ‘virtually’ walk through a property as if you were actually there. A virtual tour can be viewed on any desktop computer by simply clicking and holding down your mouse button and dragging on the image to pan around up, down, left, and right. You can pan right up to the ceiling or sky, right down to the ground. When viewed on a tablet or mobile phone you pan around the image by holding and swiping with your finger.

Sounds great right. But why do you need one? The reasons for using this technology are many and I’m going to outline a few key reasons here:
